DFI Introduces SB102-D Mini-ITX motherboard

November 14, 2012 – DFI introduces SB102-D, a Mini-ITX motherboard with the 2nd Gen Intel Core processor family paired with the Intel H61 Express chipset. From the dual-core i3 processor to the quad-core i7 processor, SB102-D is cross compatible with the new 3rd Gen Intel Core processors. And with the 3rd Gen processors built on 22-nanometer process technology, this cost-effective board is powerful and yet energy-efficient. 

 

The Intel HD Graphics 2000 engine integrated into the scalable desktop processor supports six graphics execution units with dynamic turbo boost to accelerate video processing, and Intel Clear Video Technology providing advanced imaging capability for Blu Ray and other high definition video processing. Performance is further increased through the introduction of Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) to the instruction set, providing acceleration of complex audio, video, and image processing. HDMI and DVI graphics interface connectors provide dual independent display support up to 1,920 x 1,200 @ 60Hz resolution. An optional SDVO-LVDS daughterboard supports LVDS display up to 1600x1200 resolution and dimming control via hot keys.

 

In addition, this platform supports Intel Hyper-Threading and improved Intel Turbo Boost Technology, which enables each processor core to handle two instruction threads and dynamically increase the clock speed when all cores are not fully utilized. This provides increased performance over the previous generation platform for both multi-core and non-multi-core optimized application programs. The combination of Intel Hyper-Threading, Intel Turbo Boost improvements, and the new three-level cache subsystem insures higher performance at reduced power consumption across a broad-spectrum of embedded processing applications.

 

This scalable desktop platform supports up to 16GB DDR3 SODIMM memory, 5.1-channel HD audio with audio amplifier interface, and 2 Intel Gigabit LAN for increased transmission speed. The Intel H61 Express chipset used on this Mini-ITX embedded board delivers high performance I/O. It provides 4 Serial ATA 2.0 ports with speed up to 3Gb/s, 8 USB 2.0 ports, 2 Serial COM ports, and 8 digital I/O ports for device controls.

 

The SB102-D offers additional expansion capability via a PCIe x16 expansion slot, and a Mini PCIe slot that accommodates half size card.

 

These features make the SB102-D ideal for intensive applications such as industrial control automation, telecom, and transportation.
